i recently went to a local ski sale and tried on a pair of Full Tilt konflicts. they are too narrow for my feet and i had the buckle loosest setting and i could barely even snap them shut. i am considering buying a pair of booters but am curious if the cables are longer so they can fit around my fat ass ankles. Thanks

Yes, the booters are for people with wider feet so if youre getting full tilts those are the ones you should get.

don't buy FTs because they are FT's. Its weird that you would try on Konflicts on the first place if you have fatter feet. Get a boot that fits. You'll ride better in a older boot that fits better than a newer one that has the logo you want.

Also they don't have cables, they have buckles. You might want to do more research.

Jacob, I'd also remember their softer flex. These things are probably a 75 or 80 flex. Knowing that you are a taller and a bigger dude you also might want a stiffer boot

I only tried on konflicts because it was the only pair of full tilts in my size because it was a blowout sale of all last years gear. I knew they were most likely going to be narrow but i tried them on for refference

I know they have a buckle but they also have cables to attach to the buckle and was curious if the cable and buckles are good for big ankles. I have done quite a bit research.

OP just wants to know if the cables/buckles will fit his ankles. I don't think he gives a shit whether they are cables or buckles. Plus they didn't sell booters at the sale that he visited.

Op the descendant is the boot you want to try. The booter uses the old roxa shell and has some big problems like being 3 to 1 sized. The new descendant is a great boot and will fit high volume feet very well. I dd a review of the descendant 8 take a look.

I'd say this is what you should go for, in the same flex
